During Jaynes’ times Homer's authorship of the Iliad and the Odyssey was taken as true, but contemporary scholarship understands they were composed independently, as part of long oral traditions. Jaynes’s argument on consciousness is then flawed, because minstrels performed- not wrote the myths.

The Strange Idea That Language And Art Emerged Long Before Human Consciousness, Which Only Appeared In 2000 BCE
According to the idea, we used language and even composed the Iliad before human consciousness emerged, meaning it was written by a non-conscious mind.

When a technology becomes important enough, we deify it. Think Hephaestus with copper age work or Ogun with iron age work. What will future people call AI's deification or demonization, as the case may be?

I think the reason capitalism and the United States are failing is that neither is a participatory system of community building. They are both exploitative and extractive. Only when the USA builds community will it be great again. One problem is some want more than the community can generate.

#trump ‘s oil grab in #Venezuela is probably worthless, and seems more like a PR stunt than a good deal. The very heavy oil deposits in Orinoco Belt are worthless. Here’s a @deutschewelle.dw.com video on why. youtu.be/s1WhiTummEo?...

If #AI cant 1. design a miniature personal 3D printed tokamak to power my life, 2. unify the Standard Model, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics, 3. eliminate world hunger and homelessness and end poverty and war, then I don’t think AI is worth it. That’s my bar for AI to be useful to humanity

Imagine being given all the power in the world, and the most you can do with that power is rename shit. You can’t house people, or provide adequate healthcare for all, you can’t even keep a promise to not start any new wars. All you can do rename bodies of water. What of fucking loser.

Since murder and accessory to murder are crimes punishable by death, then committing or funding genocide should also be punishable by death. Commit genocide, death. Use your personal wealth to support genocide, death. Vote for or sign a bill into law funding genocide, death.

If you want to know how fascist and right wing the USA has become: the Democrats, the so-called-left, have moved so far to the right, that Social Democrats have to distinguish themselves from them, to advocate for positions, that the GOP, the so-called-right used to advocate for.
